Title: Ice Conditions?
Post by: grasshopper on December 11, 2005, 12:52:15 PM
What're the conditions of the lakes in Wisconsin rite now? I'm really looking forward to my first year of riding on the ice. Unfortunately I'm in Japan until the 14th.

Thanks

Nick

Lots of snow on top, still open waters, would be difficult to quad plow even if it's thick enough yet.  Probably going to need a truck plow to get started, and more depth to support a vehicle.

I doubt anyone will be out before you get back  ;D

Last I heard about Koshgenong is that its not froze over yet in spots and isnt thick enough for other than maybe walking a short distance.

I was standing on the ice while they plowed the road course at http://www.sportsmanspark.net on Delavan Lake.

I would have ridden Saturday, but my TTR90 wasn't ready.

Riders were coming later that afternoon and on Sunday.

TTR90 Dave? Easy big fella, that kinda displacement could be trouble.....even for a seasoned expert like yourself! ;D

What were they plowing with, quad or truck?

They jumped a Yamaha utility vehicle, kind of like a Kaw Mule, from the bank to the icy lake...

Ice was good.  But it's shallow along there where they put the track.
